En la cama [In bed]




My friend Claudio showed me this incredibly erotic and serious 2008 chilean movie, In Bed (En la Cama) that follows two casual lovers that meet at a party and decide to rent a motel room and fuck each others brains out. Starting of like a sexualized version of Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset"  with Ethan Hawke, this movie wonders into the darker side of passion and casual sex as the characters take a break from all the love making and start to interact.
Needless to say the dialogue is nothing short of amazing. It's honest, pure, simple and ironic.
Without sliding over to the overly romantic vibe of "Before Sunrise", yet intimate.
The way the director creeps up close to the characters with his camera, depicting every inch of desire and seduction both characters experience throughout the night is just pure genius.
The actors lay it bare and play their asses off. Looking seemingly comfortable naked.
Definitely one of the best scripted and shot movies I've seen in a long time.
And probably contains one of the HOOOOTTEST sex acts filmed.
If you can get a hold of it here in Europe is well worth a watch.
